1. How to change the background/background image of CHILLAX?

The steps are first settings, then go to the VENCORD Section and then Themes. Finally, click Edit Quick CSS which should open the integrated Monaco (It's already there no need for installation as this is part of the Vencord itself) code editor. Now using this Editor, you can easily edit CSS with hot reloading. See the below-attached screenshots:

Now to go to line number 46 (at the time of writing, the line number is 46 which in a later version might change) or where the variable --wallpaper defined and change the url that is within the single quote "" to the wallpaper/gif cdn url that you want to set.

See the below screenshots:

Now your favourite background image/gif should be applied. Moreover, if you need to control the opacity of the background, please adjust the CSS variable --bg-opacity.

2. How to change/use another font(s)?

First, make sure that the font you are trying to use is already hosted somewhere if it is not already. Most of the time you will be using google fonts. From there, choose the font you are looking for and adjust all the settings and everything (font weights, size, etc.) and then copy the CSS import url. See the below screenshots:

7. 

   • Now go to Settings > Themes > Edit Quick CSS.

   • Paste the copied link at the top just like the above screenshot and put the ; at the end of it.

8. 

   • Now change the --font-nane to the name of the font that you have just imported.

   • Optionally adjust the --font-size if you need to.

And now the new font(s) should be applied.

3. How to change the font size?

• Go to Settings > Themes > Edit Quick CSS.

That's it.

4. How to change the accent color (The Below RED thing/part see attached screenshot)?

• Go to Settings > Themes > Edit Quick CSS.

• Find the CSS Variables --accentcolor, --accentcolor2 and change them to your needs.

• You may want to play around with them to find the right balance.

5. How to change the theme welcome username?

6. How to make it so that desktop wallpaper/wallpaper engine's wallpaper is visible through?

However, if you have decided to make up your mind, then

• Go to Settings > Vencord > Enable Window Transparency and turn it on.

• Now Settings > Themes > Edit Quick CSS and remove the --wallpaper CSS Variable mentioned in here.

• Your window should now be transparent or see through etc.

• Now you may want to add a bit of blur to make things readable in the container__037ed. However, discord uses electron, and we have found it to work differently on different OS, and the window manager of your OS also plays a vital role here. So, the below CSS snippet may or may not work properly (Translucence is enabled in window manager level). In case it does not work, it will at least make the container__037ed basically that region a bit darker.

  .container__037ed { background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0) !important; /* Semi-transparent white for light theme */ /* Or use this for dark theme: background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1); */ backdrop-filter: blur(1px) !important; /*Blur the background*/ border-radius: 10px; /* Rounded corners */ /* Or use this for dark theme: border: 1px solid rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2); */ box-shadow: 0 8px 32px 0 rgba(31, 38, 135, 0.37) !important; /* Optional: Add a box shadow for depth */ }

7. How to change the font of the group chat?

• We have already mentioned how you can import a custom font and use it here.

• Now, the steps are first Settings, then go to the Themes Section and then Edit Quick CSS.

• After that, find the CSS variable --group-chat-font and provide the font name that you like to use within " " (double quote).

• Make sure that the font that you are trying to set is available in the theme context.
